Ron Paul's Missouri supporters take charge of weekend county caucuses
“We all know that on the first ballot we have to vote for McCain”

There are Internet rumors that Paul supporters have or will attempt similar actions in other states, though national GOP leaders say it does not appear to be an issue nationally. Read more
